Cable gets tangled and twisted like crazy. Any remedy for this? Love the comfort of the headphone but hate the twisted cable!

I like these headphones too and I haven't experienced any noticeable cable tangling. In contrast, my other most-used headphones are Shure SE535-V but what I don't like about them is exactly what you said about the Sony!

Dude, all headphone cables get twisted up like crazy. Bundling them after each use helps. I love these headphones. Researched the hell out of headphones before purchasing b/c my job entails me to virtually live in headphones. The long cord is a plus but, yeah, it gets tangled. If you don't need the length, try shortening it by overlapping and wrapping with a twisty.

there is some cable noise in all my earbuds, and yes I find it annoying. I notice it mostly during phone conversations. Music playback is excellent.

Try turning the earphones around on your head, so that the pod now in you left ear goes on you right ear etc. The "receiver" part of my headphones seem to get better reception when one side faces the transmitter than when the other side faces the transmitter

Sorry I haven't had that problem so I haven't checked. I've been able to twist and mold the cable to conform to my ear and not have it move. Good luck

I have the same problem. I had to go back and use my long cord earphones because of that. Let me know if you find out the warranty. Thanks - Kendal

I use the small winder for those, and it's worked so far. Sometimes they get caught, and it looks like the inline volume part has the cord bent pretty sharply away from it at times, but so far it's just been an idle worry and hasn't caused any functional problems. If my earbuds stop working from being wound too right this way, I'll definitely post about it here!

Yes it is, but it is a special plug made for the headphones and can not be twisted. it's a regular 3.5mm (edit: It's a 2.5 molded jack on the end that goes into the headphone itself, 3.5 mm on the other end with screw on/off 1/4 inch adaptor.

Sometimes that happens (the one side playing part) to me with my Ipod. I usually just remove the jack and put it back in and it works fine. You could buy another AUX cable to see if thats the issue. If not, you should have a warrenty with SkullCandy to replace them. My advice is to first replace the AUX cable but if you don't want to spend anything, use that warrenty to just get a new set. You may have a defective pair of headphones. Hope this helped!

Yes, the cable is very thin and fragile for the price given. The most area where I am experiencing the problem is the headphone jack area. I've just ordered couple of heat shrink tubes, which I will use to reinforce the headphone jack area. The earphone connection part is actually more sturdier then competing brands so I think, if any problem were to occur, it will be the headphone jack area.

That would be a great feature, but that's not how it winds the cord up -- the cord comes off cleanly and fully when unwound. So you need a separate place to stash the winder when you're using the headphones.

While I can't speak for the manufacturer, intermittent headphone operation most frequently stems from a broken connection in the headphone cable at or near its plug. If you haven't done so already, plug your headphones into a known good device other than the FiiO headphone amp. Listen through the headphones for intermittent sound while gently pulling and flexing the headphone cable. Also check to see if there is any dirt or corrosion on the headphone plug. If so, clean if off with a coarse rag or light steel wool. Wipe off the plug with a clean rag to eliminate any remaining residue. If the problem seems to reside only with the FiiO amplifier, and you believe that it is caused by dirt in the headphone jack, I suggest using a length of pipe cleaner (they are still available at stores that sell smoker's supplies) that has been coated with liquid electronic contact cleaner (Radio Shack or Frys). With the amplifier turned off, insert the pipe cleaner into the headphone jack and scrub gently. Hold the amplifier upside down while doing this so that dirt (if any) will tend to fall out of the jack opening. If the pipe cleaner comes back dirty, cut off the dirty end with a pair of wire cutters, re-coat the pipe cleaner and scrub some more. Don't spray liquids directly into the jack opening because too much solvent might damage other parts of the amplifier. Allow the cleaning solvent in the jack to evaporate, then try your headphones. If you continue to have problems with the amplifier, I suggest you contact the manufacturer directly. Good luck!

Thank you for answering this Slush! I wish they had a picture of what this looks like. Is it hard to maneuver with the headphones?

If you wrap the cable in a wide loop, you can easily slide the loop of cable over the headphone holder section, between your headphones headband and the desk. Works pretty well. And it holds the long cables while I have the cans on my head.

I just read your comments and was wondering which product you were talking about. I also have a hard time finding a bluetooth or head phones that stay on my ears. I have almost completely given up on a bluetooth, but was considering trying one of the bluetooth headsets that go behind your neck or over your head? Any suggestions?

No that should not happen. Try making sure the plugs are inserted all the way in. They are often pretty darn tight so remove the cable and push it back in in with plenty of force. Inspect the contacts closely and whether or not it is inserted into the correct side. If none of this works I suggest either trying another cable or more optimally contacting Sennheiser. Hope you get them working how they should.

you hit the nail right on the head. Ear piece is still a BIG problem. I am on my 2nd one (ear piece) and it's starting to give me a problem. Wish they could make a stronger one.

Yes just as the image they were round cables not twisted. I dnt know mine was faulty or what but i cant say it was faulty. Because the clarity was great and the earbuds volume was high but its far away in bass quality. I only hear trance music so thats why it didnt satisfy me at all.
